Thank you for your response. That makes sense. The tile was replaced, but not the coping. However, I do not believe they removed the old plaster. Is that a problem?

Okay, please forgive me if this is a silly question, but I cannot find a clear answer online. We have had our in-ground, gunite pool for a little over 20 years. Last year, we hired a national pool construction company to resurface the gunite on our pool. Originally, the plaster surrounding...

Thanks everyone! :)

Well, I ended up getting the Maytronics Dolphin Active 20 and I LOVE IT!! Super easy to use and I was very impressed with the performance. I'm never going back to suction cleaners.

Since I'm about to buy one of these, I'm going to lurk/follow this post. ;)

This is awesome!! Thank you so much!

So I could buy the caddy separately...? Great idea! :) Do you see any downside to doing this? Like, is it the same caddy I would get with the Active 30?

My head is swimming, y'all... I have been reading and researching and watching videos, and now I'm definitely suffering from information overload! I have had a Kreepy Krauly suction cleaner for >10 years and I'm ready to go robotic, but I'm having trouble deciding which model I should buy. I...

Welcome Peter! I second the advice you've already been given and would also suggest you not use test strips at all. They are completely unreliable and will give you readings all over the chart. The only way to know for sure what's going on with your pool's chemistry is to learn how to test it...

Hi Mike and welcome! This is a great forum with lots of helpful advice and information. Best of luck!:wave:

Based on your picture (and my own experience with similar issues), it sure looks like copper staining to me. That could happen from using algaecides. I had to learn that lesson the hard way, many years ago, before I found this site. I would definitely get the Jack's Magic Stain ID kit to rule...
